Bechdel, I feel as if this story was all over the place and was very hard for me to follow. i don't know if it is because I'm not that great of a reader or what. It went from talking about her father to outdoor stuff. I think that the "thread" that kept it all connected. I thought that she was very creative with her wording. She used plenty of detail to describe this to the reader also. It was just kind of hard for me to understand what was going on. I think that it was because I wasn't reading from left to right. I'm not use to the comic thing. I felt like her choice of words weren't very good. What I did like about it was how she used the Appalachian Ridge to help describe how small their town was and how far away it was. I thought how she grew up was really interesting. From her father’s sexuality to living in a funeral home.I liked how at the end she summed it up by tell us that just because her family ate together doesn't mean they are alike. They are all different and like totally different things!
I understand completely where you are coming from. i was titally confused about the story she wasnt very consistent throughout the story. I was actually confused about what was going on. First off living in a funeral home is creepy in its self. Her parents werent very loving people. Most of the family was seperated throughout their house and noone seemed to communicate with eachother that that much. Comics I thought are supposed to be funny not dreary and deadening (if thats a word). I loved that she used pictures to give us a visual of what was really going on but they had no color or life to them, but I know that was on purpose to show how dark their life really was.
Juno, It was really hard for me to read this I think. I have seen the movie before and I have seen it a lot. I did not agree with some of what they said. I think that it is a good movie. I do not think that it is a movie for younger people. I did agree with they when they said she wasn't a good role model but I also think that she was in a way also. She set a good example and put the baby up for adoption, and she did do her research to find a good stable home for the baby and did not just take the easy way out like most people would say and get an abortion. I did think that her parents did act kind of calm about it. I know that if I came home 16 and pregnant my parents would have flipped out so bad. The dialogue in the movie was kind of out of the ordinary but it’s what made the movie funny and I think the person who wrote the script used to help with the tension part of the movie. It is honestly what I liked most about the movie myself. I really don’t think this movie was intended to influence young teenage girls to have a baby, and if they did get pregnant to do the right thing and not get an abortion even though it was an accident. Just like in the movie “they have finger nails ya know!” That just goes to show that they are a live and living already inside of you and they have a heartbeat. If anything I think the message to this movie was about abortion and how it’s not right.
